At the moment, the Kempten designers indeed are working on the perfect
body parts for the convertible AS3 at full speed, but already now it
becomes apparent that the compact vehicle will become a feast for the
eyes. The performance data of the engine versions stand for open-air
driving pleasure: with ABT Power the 2.0 TFSI offers sporty 240hp
(177kW) instead of 200hp (147kW); with ABT Power S 270hp (199kW) are
provided. With ABT Power the serial 160hp (118kW) of the 1.8 TFSI can
be increased to 200hp (147kW), or to 240hp (177kW) with ABT Power S.
What
the famous car tuner from the Allgäu understands of a real
sun-worshipping convertible already show the ABT Eos and the ABT TT
Roadster: for the Volkswagen convertible as well as for the open
version of the successful model from Ingolstadt, the ABT team developed
body styling parts which accentuate the character of each vehicle and
which let them appear even more distinctive from every perspective: the
low front spoiler, the side skirts and the rear skirt inset with the
typical 4-pipe rear muffler emphasize the sporty ambitions of the fancy
ABT Eos and give it a self-confident appearance. Even more so with the
BR wheel which seems to have the urge to move forward, even when
standing still. It goes without saying that this wheel also fits the TT
Roadster like a glove because this breathtaking vehicle appears very
dynamical even without the Allgäu body kit. The team from Kempten turns
the open-roof TT into a real athlete which looks like a 100-meter
sprinter ready to start: the front skirt, the lateral body parts, the
rear skirt inset and the rear wing are forming a successful unit, in
every respect. With this modifications, the sports car does not only
cut a good figure on country roads and motor-ways but also on the
boulevard.
Either closed or opened, a real ABT does not only
look fast, it is in fact fast. This ensure the diverse ABT POWER
packages for the Eos and the TT Roadster which actually satisfy
performance hunger: with ABT POWER, the 2.0 TFSI engine is increased
from serial 200hp (147kW) to 240hp (177kW). With ABT POWER S even 270hp
(199kW) or remarkable 300hp (221kW) are provided.
The
sportiest version ABT offers is for the 6-cylinder engine with 3.2
liter cubic capacity: ABT POWER R stands for optimization of the motor
management and for compressor conversion with water cooled intercooler.
In figures this means a proud power increase of 120hp (88kW). 370
authentic horsepower (272kW) are offered with ABT POWER R. Also the 2.0
liter diesel engine in the Eos becomes sportier: the serial 140hp
(103kW) can be increased to powerful 170hp (125kW). ABT Sportsline, of
course, also offers perfectly adjusted suspension components and brakes
for the fast convertibles. This enables the ABT Eos and the ABT TT
Roadster to cope with every situation and to offer pure driving
pleasure. These positive characteristics are exactly what also the new
ABT AS3 Cabrio will offer - and hence will continue the success story
of the open sports cars from the Allgäu
